Lava launched the Blaze X a little while back and it was a fancy-looking phone. Now the company has brought a new, more affordable offering with the same processor underneath. Furthermore, they’ve thrown in a “Vibe Light” for the vibes. Let’s take a deeper look at the Lava Blaze 3 5G in this article, including its price in Nepal.
Lava Blaze 3 5G Overview
Design and Display
The Lava Blaze 3 5G comes with flat edges and a monotone design. It is available in Glass Blue, and Glass Gold colours, hinting at the use of glass for the back panel. The phone has a squircle camera island with “Vibe Light”, which is a warm-tinted LED flash. This light supposedly improves the camera’s low-light performance and enhances portrait shots.
For display, it has a flat LCD panel that stretches 6.56 inches. It offers HD+ resolution with 269PPI pixel density. Additionally, you get a refresh rate of 90Hz and a colour depth of 16.7 million.
Performance
Under the hood, the Lava Blaze 3 5G packs the MediaTek Dimensity 6300 processor which launched a few months ago. It comes with a 6nm fabrication process, eight cores, and a peak clock speed of 2.4GHz.
This phone will be available in a single configuration of 6GB RAM and 128GB storage. Users can virtually extend the memory by another 6GB. Meanwhile, they can pop in a microSD card of up to 1TB for extra storage. Similarly, on the software front, it boots on Android 14 with no ads and bloatware.

Camera and the rest
In the camera department, you get a total of three shooters. The primary of which is a 50MP unit. It is coupled with a 2MP AI camera, which is there just for decoration. On the front, it has an 8MP shooter which utilises the screen as a flash during low-light conditions. As I mentioned earlier, the Lava Blaze 3 5G has a “Vibe Light” on the back and highlighted its usage. In the meantime, it also has the traditional flash alongside it.
A 5,000 mAh battery powers the phone which offers over eight hours of continuous YouTube playback. In terms of charging, it supports 18W of speed and takes a little over two hours to go from 0 to 100. It supports dual SIM 5G, dual-band WiFi 5, and Bluetooth v5.2 for wireless connectivity. Likewise, the Lava Blaze 3 5G has a USB-C port as well as a 3.5mm headphone jack for wired duties.
